Why is it that most people put an apostrophe in "minis"? It's a plural for fuck sake, not ownerships. I have 2 minis. This morning, mini's exhaust fell off. Oh and lol that the FB group is getting taken over by enthusiasts. Now I am probibly the last person to contradict this, but, I thought "My Mini's exhaust" means that the exhaust belongs to the mini. "Minis are total shit" without the apostrophe means there is more than one. "My Mini's shit", the apostrophe indicates dropped letters, in this example "My Mini is shit". Complication arises when the word ends with an S. In this case only the apostrophe is added, for example "My Missus' car is red" which would have been "My Missus's car is red" That said, I don't use grammar as I should, much to the annoyance of half of the secondary language world For us that English is our prime language, we really should make much more of an effort, and minor mistakes like these made by those that have English as a second language is perfectly acceptable. Mind you they are usually better at English than we are :$
Now Its been many years since I left school and my grammar is not what it used to be, even then it was poor. Does it really really matter? when you know what the chap is saying? It is a language after all and a language's prime function is to communicate. What I mean is, the odd dropping of punctuation, the odd spelling mistake, is okay in my book. What I do NOT agree with, is, dropping half the letters from all the words in a sentence, replacing certain pairs of letters with a singular similar sounding letter, or, completely dropping those letters and replacing them with numbers. Text speak is evil

I'm not bothered if people have this oppinion of minis. Considering the swearing that has been used in the garage towards mine, the neighbours probably think I think minis are shit! Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I think it's different with some people though. I've called Vader and Minxy all the names under the sun, my neighbours thought I hated Minxy as I yelled 'If you don't fucking start I'll burn you' On 2nd Nov, 2010 wil_h said:
